The energies of activation for forward and reverse reactions for $${A_2} + {B_2} \rightleftharpoons 2AB$$ are $$180\,kJ\,mo{l^{ - 1}}$$ and $$200\,kJ\,mo{l^{ - 1}}$$ respectively, The presence of catalyst lowers the activation energy of both (forward and reverse) reactions by $$100\,kJ\,mo{l^{ - 1}}$$ . The enthalpy change of the reaction $$\left( {{A_2} + {B_2} \to 2AB} \right)$$ in the presence of a catalyst will be ( in $$kJ\,mo{l^{ - 1}}$$ )
A
20
B
300
C
120
D
280
Answer :
20
$$\Delta {H_R} = {E_f} - {E_b} = 180 - 200 = - 20kJ/mol$$
The nearest correct answer given in choices may be obtained by neglecting sign.

A first order reaction is $$50\% $$ completed in 20 minutes at $${27^ \circ }C$$ and in 5 minutes at $${47^ \circ }C.$$ The energy of activation of the reaction is :

Consider the Arrhenius equation given below and mark the correct option.
$$k = A{e^{ - \frac{{{E_a}}}{{RT}}}}$$
A
Rate constant increases exponentially with increasing activation energy and decreasing temperature.
B
Rate constant decreases exponentially with increasing activation energy and decreasing temperature.
C
Rate constant increases exponentially with decreasing activation energy and decreasing temperature.
D
Rate constant increases exponentially with decreasing activation energy and increasing temperature.
Answer :
Rate constant increases exponentially with decreasing activation energy and increasing temperature.
$$k = A{e^{ - \frac{{{E_a}}}{{RT}}}}$$
On increasing temperature and decreasing activation energy $${\frac{{{E_a}}}{{RT}}}$$ term overall decreases thus, $${ - \frac{{{E_a}}}{{RT}}}$$ term increases and rate constant increases exponentially.
304.
Consider the given plots for a reaction obeying Arrhenius equation $$\left( {{0^ \circ }C < T < 300{\,^ \circ }C} \right):$$ ( $$k$$ and $${E_a}$$ are rate constant and activation energy, respectively )
Choose the correct option.
A
I is right but II is wrong.
B
Both I and II are wrong.
C
I is wrong but II is right.
D
Both I and II are correct.
Answer :
Both I and II are correct.
According to Arrhenius equation, $$k = A{e^{ - \frac{{Ea}}{{RT}}}}$$
On increasing the value of $${E_a},k$$ is decreasing. So, curve I is correct.
On increasing temperature $$\left( T \right),k$$ is increasing. So, curve II is also correct.

Which of the following statements is incorrect?
A
Activation energy for the forward reaction is equals to activation energy for the reverse reaction
B
For a reversible reaction, an increase in temperature increases the reaction rate for
both the forward and the backward reaction
C
The larger the initial reactant concentration for a second order reaction, the shorter is
its half-life.
D
When $$\Delta t$$ is infinitesimally small, the average rate equals the instantaneous rate
Answer :
Activation energy for the forward reaction is equals to activation energy for the reverse reaction
$${E_a}\left( {F.R.} \right) \ne {E_a}\left( {B.R.} \right){E_a}$$ can be calculated.

The rate of reaction is doubled for every $${10^ \circ }C$$ rise in temperature. The increase in reaction rate as a result of temperature rise from $${10^ \circ }C$$ to $${100^ \circ }C$$ is
A
112
B
512
C
400
D
614
Answer :
512
As the rate of reaction get doubled for every $${10^ \circ }C$$ rise in temperature. Hence the increase in reaction rate as a result of temperature rise from $${10^ \circ }C$$ to $${100^ \circ }C$$ is equal to $$ = {2^9} = 512$$
307.
Which of the following statements for order of reaction is not correct?
A
Order can be determined experimentally.
B
Order of reaction is equal to the sum of powers of concentration terms in rate law expression.
C
Order cannot be fractional.
D
Order is not affected by stoichiometric coefficient of the reactants.
Answer :
Order cannot be fractional.
Order of reaction can be zero, fractional or negative.
